Region President Vasco Errani finances with a million euro coop John Errani, in debt. The same company then builds a plant without permission. This time helps the mayor of Imola, a friend of Bersani, then promoted to deputy.
Errani finances Errani. Vasco, President pd dell'Emilia Romagna (as well as the State-Regions Conference), subsidizes the older brother John, president of the cooperative member Terremerse Legacoop. All the light of day, there are resolutions, reports, invoices in a chain of oddities and irregularities. Which can be explained only with the tested system that supports the local power company through the red triangle-coop-party institutions. An intertwining of politics and business that stands out in the history of the cooperative farm Bagnacavallo operating between Imola and Ravenna. Beginning with the names of the protagonists: the family Errani (Vasco, John and daughter of the latter, Linda, mayor of nearby Massa Lombarda, the birthplace of all three); Guido Tampieri, also of Massa Lombarda, former head of the CGIL and the PCI-PDS-DS, a former regional minister for Agriculture, former undersecretary of Minister De Castro government last Prodi, Massimo Marchignoli, then mayor of Imola, now deputy pd. We
in 2005. Terremerse sails into debt for a number of management decisions criticized by many members and the local Italian Farmers Confederation. How to recover? Simple: ask for money to the region and to the institutions. Taking advantage of the regional plan for rural development, co John Errani of designing a new facility funded by the wine region Vasco Errani for a million euro (about a planned expenditure of two and a half million), while the municipalities Imola and Massa Lombarda transformed into a residential area with a high index of area manufacturing Terremerse. Released land building are subsequently acquired by Unipol Merchant Bank, Coop Adriatica and Federcoop Ravenna. The icing on the cake, a few months after the winery was sold despite the express prohibition of the Region.
On 14 November 2005, the regional manager Carlo Basilio Bonizzi (Councillor is Tampieri) finances the new winemaking facility stating that the work will be completed by April 30, 2006 and that the grant will be paid after inspection. But on April 30 yards are still open because Terremerse had not yet obtained by the City of Imola permission to build, having required only March 28. The one million euro is likely to jump. How to save? Here clicks the "Red Aid": April 27 calls a month of the coop extension, 11 May, the court grants the Region, May 23 the City unlocks work. The justification for the delay is hilarious: the 'long rains of winter "that has" prevented the mechanical means to enter the lot. " Too bad the winter 2005-06 was among the driest in recent years.
The miracle is accomplished. Terremerse get permission to build on May 23, and 31 formal recognition to the region that the work is completed. Unbelievable but true. One week to build a large winery. Other than the Secretary Bertolaso: Berlusconi should call John Speedy Gonzalez Errani Aquila to rebuild their houses after the earthquake, and also recruit its administrative staff in one day (May 31) made the rounds of the vendors, obtained issuance of bills (all with the same date), registered them and paid with the liquidity prepared in the preceding days.
Needless to say that the reality is quite different. From the official statement presented on June 15, show that the work started on February 22, three months before they were allowed. Note that the City had imposed a series of preliminary works, including "the preventive requirements for buildings in earthquake zones." They were really running? The doubt is very strong. Also because Terremerse does not provide even the certificate of fitness for use and compliance building that was required to submit along with the statement and declaration of completion of work. A resounding failure. But the region turns a blind eye, or rather both, and June 20 Bonizzi states that "all the deadlines have been met."
But some realize that not everything is in place. So, a few weeks later, we run for cover, a measure packed with the Councillor Tampieri tailored to the coop so much that is dear to the family Errani. The Council Resolution of 4 September (also voted by the governor) expects that the work can be considered concluded "even in the absence of documentation on the certification of compliance and feasibility of building works." That certificate will be filed on January 11, 2008. Terremerse is safe, the contribution as well.
How come there was no practicability? Negligence of the City of Imola? Not at all. The reason is different: the work was still ongoing and no certification of compliance with building could be sought. The petition is filed August 7, 2007. Summary: Errani of the coop started work without permission (and the City of Imola was careful not interrupting, punish the coop and report the abuse to the attorney); them largely completed over the term has violated several provisions, however, with the help of the region led by junior Errani has managed to collect one million euro.
But there's more. Terremerse had committed "fully and unconditionally" to not distract from the planned destination for at least ten years the buildings and facilities, and for at least five years the mobile equipment and machinery beneficiaries of aid, or risk losing money. What did instead Errani senior? He sold the wine business (including the structure financed by the Region) to the newly formed cooperative Terre Imola, which in turn was merged with the coop Faenza Copa Cantina in the hills of Romagna. None of this was sent to the region and the contribution has remained in the coffers of the company presided over by the brother of the governor. Even when flying over the region Terremerse fail to declare wine production year 2006/2007. It repeats a script already seen nothing to declare, nothing had been produced for the construction of the cellar paid by the region was still open. It was not even harvested a bunch of grapes. The coop
John Errani could not give up that million. It lost 6 to 7 million euro per year an accounting trick that allows you to hide. Terremerse fact necessary real estate for sale - with appreciation - to its subsidiary, Unagro Ltd., without paying consideration: in this way the credits offset the debt. For example, the budget Terremerse 31 December 2004 recorded a credit of € 2,604,000 for any goods supplied and not paid.
In turn, the property was transferred Unagro for about € 14 million to Federcoop of Ravenna, Sara and Unipol Merchant Bank (a subsidiary of Coop Adriatica), at a much lower price than the market, in defiance of the principle indivisibility of the assets of mutual cooperatives prevalent. The directors of Unagro have learned of the operation only when the supply of shares.
But even this vortex of money and land to straighten the unsafe situation company, taking John Errani. We need new capital. And it is up to local injection administered by relatives and party colleagues. The City of Imola makes the area of \u200b\u200bthe former factory building in Via Cavina giving it a value of about € 17 million. The malicious whisper that this was to ensure the then mayor Marchignoli, a great friend of Vasco Errani and Pierluigi Bersani, the promotion in Parliament. And the town of Massa Lombarda (Mayor Linda Errani, daughter of John) gives the building rights to an area of \u200b\u200babout 6 thousand square feet that housed cold. We also consider
Tampieri, that has become undersecretary for Agriculture the Prodi government to plug other holes. Newly installed at the Directorate General of Quality Control Department, concluded with an agreement for the project Terremerse 'Territories and networked markets. " In fact it is a way to download the costs of technical and administrative staff of the department Terremerse: it seems that many are not genuine signatures of employees and others to have signed that were not explained to them the real reason. The deal was worth three million euro over three years.
from 2008, finally emerges as a last means the entry of two investor members with a contribution of one million euro each. They are two individuals: the president Gianni Errani and the new CEO Oriano Mezzetti. From Where does all this new money?
